Quote:Originally Posted by Gawdz All I can help you with is the LED dim thing and the answer is yes the LEDs will dim the less power you give the fans unless the fan has a separate LED power source which some fans do. Yeah, as I...

Hey people. I'm modding my case yet again, I will cut it up, change the cage locations, do a whole new front, change the power LEDs, put some new power buttons, drill some fan mounts, coat of paint, you know the drill. Something came...

Nearly everything in ultra, only shadows on high on a 5770 @ 1280x1024. Runs pretty smooth, never dips below 25, very rarely dips under 30. Tesselation and ingame FXAA on, AF x2, no Vsync. I find 30fps nice enough for the slow paced...

No use in ordering one of those if you don't feel like it to be honest. If you have a pen cap lying around with those thingies that you use to secure them to your pockets made of metal, it's pretti easy to do a homemade one. I made a...

Hey guys, so I have a couple of old crap psus lying around... I'd rather not touch them again, not even with a 10-foot pole. However, besides harvesting for caps and other components, I thought - Why the hell not reuse those 120mm...

Yeah, for acrylic sheets those cubes would do just fine. And the sanded acrylic would most likely light up pretty good with some high power LEDs! But the white acetal panels would just look so slick i can't tell you to not do it If...
